This class is designed as a refresher course to help you learn the effects of aging on driving.The course addresses physical changes that can affect your driving ability and behavior, and ways to compensate for these changes.

Recent studies have shown that fatal crashes involving a driver 70 years of age or older fell about 37 percent between 1997 and 2008 according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. While the report suggests that further studies are needed to determine the exact reason for the decline they believe that improvements in health among older adults and self-restriction of older drivers are factors in the findings. This information reinforces the work of the driver safety program in making safer drivers on the roads and awareness of age-related changes.
